Should've been higher up in the chart for sure. Not least cos my husband proposed to me at Wembley when Foo's played this...great tune, very special. All those wasted Mcfly songs the idiots voted for...pah!

Makes my hairs stand up when ever I hear this outstanding song. It is an outrage that this wasn't in the top 10

I've seen this song performed 3 times V 2007,N.E.C. b'ham later that year and City of Manchester stadium 2008 just a brilliant tune. All the rest are brilliant but this song as soon as I heard it Ithought this is my favourite song by the Foo's
